Flashback: Rick Perry Supports Criminalizing Gay Sex | Mother Jones
So what exactly has Perry done? Well, for one, he is (still) a supporter of the Texas "homosexual conduct" statute, an archaic law that made it a crime for two consenting, unrelated adults to have sex if they were of the same gender. The law was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the landmark 2002 case Lawrence v. Texas, but, despite repeated efforts, Texas has yet to formally repeal the statute. When Perry was asked about the Lawrence case in 2002, he defended the anti-sodomy statute: "I think our law is appropriate that we have on the books." He wrote about the case in his 2011 book Fed Up, too, citing the Lawrence decision as the product of "nine oligarchs in robes" and an example of what's wrong with our judicial system. And last spring, when Perry ran for his third full term as governor, he did so on a state GOP platform that exlicitly stated "we oppose the legalization of sodomy."
That doesn't sound like "Small Government" Conservatism to me.
yeah. that's the problem. Not that Rick Perry wants to shrink government down to the size of a bedroom. The problem is obviously Mother Jones magazine.Mother Jones?
Good Grief.
well, were you as outraged at obama's stance on abortion as you are at Perry's alleged stance on gays?

He wasn't old enough to vote for obama. there's the answer to your question.That's Rhetorical, isn't it...

not necessarily. let's give him a chance.
He seems to not want to Continue...
My Last Question was about if he Voted for Obama...
Both yours and mine Remain Unanswered.
Such is.
Seems the way of the Left here Recently.
peace...
Mother Jones, that bastion of truth.... *yawns*
You know what would be cool? It would be cool if people could engage their fucking brains when they post shit.
Source it... not Mother Jones.... go research his fucking record for yourselves and start your own fucking discussions instead of being spoon fed whatever the media wants you to think.
Just learn to fucking think!
Ok. I feel better for that.
Rant ends.

So instead of addressing Perry's comments, attack me personally instead. Especially when I have already provided further evidence in this thread before you made these comments.

9 years ago... You were like... 9 then, weren't you?...
Got anything a little more... Recent?

Wait, you want evidence about his comments in 2002 from 2009-2011 but not from 2002?

I didn't post for five minutes, clearly I must be running away.
As to your last question, no I didn't vote for Obama. Kind of difficult to vote for anyone when you're not legally able to.

I know what he said in 2002...
I want to know where he stands now.
He was a Texan Supporting the Law at the time.
You can do better Kid.

Well, in this case, the headlines apparently are true. Goggle Rick Perry Lawrence v Texas and the truth will set you free.yeah. that's the problem. Not that Rick Perry wants to shrink government down to the size of a bedroom. The problem is obviously Mother Jones magazine.Mother Jones?
Good Grief.

the problem is, it may not be true. Headlines lie.

Seems the rabid right has another bigot, another homophobe, another ossified thinker to champion. Someone who disregards the protections afforded by the courts just to press his own warped, dusty, hate filled agenda of anti-privacy and the erosion of personal liberties all to satisfy the stilted, ignorant bigotry of a few knuckle dragging constituents from the mega churches and trailer parks.
